To
keep your milling machine running for as long as possible and in the best
condition (and to avoid safety risks), you will need to keep your machine and
your tools properly cleaned and maintained. We’re providing the following tips
to help you maintain an efficient, safe, and productive machine:
Establish a routine: Make machinery
maintenance a routine procedure. Not only will they last longer, but your
consistent maintenance will help give you peace of mind. You’d never miss a
meal, so don’t miss regular machinery maintenance!
Store tools properly: You’ll want to
protect all tools and machinery from damage as it moves around your shop.
Before placing into storage, spray with rust-resisting lubricant and prevent
tooling, especially carbide, from bumping into each other.
Test periodically: Like all forms of
machinery, you should test it periodically. Examine the spindle’s runour approximately
every three months. If you notice an increase in runout, look to replace
bearings or other parts to keep it in top shape.
Keep spindles free of damage: If you
notice wear on your toolholder tapers, keep the inside of the spindles clean
and lubricated, and check that the collet alignment screw is in good condition.
